During last 1 to 2 minutes of cooking time, place cheese on patties; cook until melted.

    Place patties on bottom halves of buns. Top each with 1/4 of bell pepper mixture and top half of bun. Serve with warm pasta sauce.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    To broil patties, place on broiler pan; broil 3 to 4 inches from heat for 10 to 12 minutes or until meat thermometer inserted in center of patties reads 160°F., turning once. During last 30 to 60 seconds of broiling time, place cheese on patties; broil until melted.
  • tip 2
    If your Italian sausage has casings, remove them before cooking.
  • tip 3
    To toast the burger buns, place them, cut sides down, on the grill for 1 to 2 minutes or until toasted.
  • tip 4
    Pick up an antipasto salad from the deli to serve with these extraordinary burgers. Keep the Italian theme alive by serving spumoni ice cream for dessert.
